four-poster bed
Pillared sleeping furniture
A four-poster bed is a bed frame with a tall post at each corner, traditionally supporting a canopy or curtains.
The design originated for warmth and privacy in drafty rooms.
Four-posters now serve mainly decorative purposes, evoking elegance or period style: The master bedroom featured an antique four-poster bed with velvet drapes.
